I was born in ’94 (Woo), can you believe that? The last time I went to church was in the fuckin’ ’80s Maybe I’m the one who really need the Lord to save me We twenty-five, I told that nigga, “Boy, you fuckin’ crazy” Soccer moms do the same, but government don’t give a fuck (True)Īnd to top it off, my best friend had a baby (Woo) When it’s us, niggas gettin’ years, maybe ten and up Shit is legal, now the dealers know the jig is up Paak’s track “Wrestlemania 20” on Supreme Blientele, but the sample is used well within here. The sample is from a Darondo track titled, “Thank You God,” and the reason for that familiarity is because it was sampled before on Westside Gunn and Anderson. “Burden” starts out the album with this wailing sample in the chorus that sounds very familiar. I have to say that it’s an improvement over Good For You, and it got its shining moments in spots thanks to the production, features and content. So, is Limbo leap bending backwards over? “Riri” and “Compensating” are average at best, but I was interested in some of the features in this album like Vince Staples, Slowthai and Injury Reserve. To be honest, on the singles he’s released prior to this new album… they were pretty middle of the road as well. Good for You is a decent pop rap record that does its job alright, but in a year full of better hip-hop records, it didn’t leave much of an impact. Now my opinion of Amine is that while he’s a decent rapper, he’s not exactly one whose records I go back to, but at the same time he’s not horrible at what he does. He made a big splash with the single “Caroline”, becoming a commercial hit for him in 2016, and the following year he was named as a member of the XXL Freshman Class in 2017 with the release of his debut album, Good For You.įollowing that would be the mixtape OnePointFive in 2018, and later on, he released a couple of singles following the announcement of his sophomore album Limbo. So, I was like, ‘I don’t give a fuck.’ I just didn’t care.”Ĭheck out the deluxe version of Aminé’s Limbo down below.Rapper Amine has made quite a name for himself the last few years, even if the stage name would easily get confused with ‘Anime’ (he even knows it as well). I literally was told that if I failed this final, I would fail the class. ![]() ![]() I remember him having like 1,000, 2,000 views on SoundCloud, to him going like, ‘Hey, this song got two million plays on Spotify, we’re about to make a music video for it.’ All of us still broke. I remember Adam was trending just in Portland, and it was like a big-ass deal. “I remember him putting out these little mixtapes, trying to get stuff retweeted, putting freaking fliers on corners, and all our friends in Portland. ![]() In an interview from this year, Aminé reflected on the time period of his life where he took the leap of faith to pursue his true passion: His debut album, 2017’s Good For You, saw 15 tracks and was led by the singles like his monstrous breakout track “ Caroline,” the Kehlani-assisted “Heebiejeebies,” “Turf,” “Wedding Crashers,” and “Spice Girl.” Recently, Aminé also landed a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September and performed both “Woodlawn” (which has a music video out now) and the opening track “Burden” while floating in a real hot air balloon. Limbo follows the 2018 mixtape OnePointFive, which contained 13 cuts and assists from Gunna, G Herbo, and Rico Nasty. Now, the Portland rapper circles back around for the deluxe version of his beloved project, as he adds on seven brand new tracks and brand new features from names like Saba, Toosii, Valee, and more. Back in August, Aminé released his Limbo album, the 14-track project that boasted a polished sound and features from Young Thug, JID, Summer Walker, Charlie Wilson, Vince Staples, and others.
